Funk is a music genre that originated in the mid to late 1960s when African-American musicians created a rhythmic danceable new form of music through a mixture of soul music jazz and R&B. Funk de-emphasizes melody and harmony and brings a strong rhythmic groove of electric bass and drums to the foreground.
